Do adults get rotavirus? Answer: Sometimes. Rotavirus is a horrible illness that causes 1-3 days of vomiting and a full week of watery green diarrhea (coming every hour). When my son had rotavirus, my husband and I did NOT catch it. This was before I became a stomach flu expert. I didn't wear rubber gloves, and I had vomit and diarrhea all over me. I didn't clean with bleach. So, I got plenty of exposure to the rotavirus but just did not get sick.
